With Dwayne Harris (hamstring) likely sidelined again, the Cowboys want more upside than the likes of Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley returning kicks. Spurlock has a tie to Dallas in special teams coach Rich Bisaccia, who coached him while with the Bucs and Chargers.

The Union-Tribune San Diego believes free agent WR/KR Micheal Spurlock could be an option for the Cowboys.

Dallas' interest level isn't known, but Spurlock has followed new special teams coach Rich Bisaccia around for his entire career. Spurlock, 30, would be nothing more than depth. A return to San Diego also hasn't been ruled out.

Spurlock is a return specialist that had 14 catches all season coming into this one. But he was able to get open on some quick outs and slants with Eddie Royal sidelined and caught all seven of the balls that came his way. Don't expect a repeat performance from the fill-in slot receiver against the Panthers in Week 15.

RB Curtis Brinkley was waived in a corresponding move. A return specialist, Spurlock made 14 catches for 121 yards in six games with the Jags. He shouldn't crack the Chargers' muddled receiver rotation.

Spurlock had been operating as Jacksonville's No. 3 receiver with Laurent Robinson out for the season. Coach Mike Mularkey singled him out for missing a hot adjustment that resulted in a sack. It was Spurlock's reminder that NFL stands for "not for long." Jordan Shipley appears to be the leading candidate for the third receiver role.

The 29-year-old Spurlock holds a career punt return average of 8.1 and averages 25.1 yards on kickoff returns. Almost strictly a special teamer, Spurlock will compete with Roscoe Parrish and Richard Goodman for one or two roster spots, depending on how many receivers San Diego keeps on its 53-man roster.

Spurlock, who played some quarterback at Ole Miss, has been getting reps at the position in camp. It's bad news for Rudy Carpenter and Jonathan Crompton, who were thought to be competing for the No. 3 role behind Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson.

Depth Charts

Lovelocke (6'5/248) was a four-year starter for the PVAMU Panthers, completing 57.6 percent of his senior-year passes with a 16:9 TD-to-INT ratio and ten additional rushing scores. A massive quarterback with 10 1/2-inch hands and 34 1/4-inch arms, Lovelocke has ideal tight end dimensions and could get a look there after running 4.81/4.84 at his Pro Day with a 31-inch vertical and 9-foot-5 broad jump. Lovelocke isn't going to make it as a quarterback.

The Chiefs used a 2012 sixth-round pick on Gray. He appeared in 35 games the past three seasons, mainly on special teams. He's rushed for 99 career yards and one touchdown on 24 carries as the No. 3 back. Gray suffered a torn ACL in November and is now healthy enough where the Chiefs could cut him.

Copeland (5-foot-11 1/8, 271) went to LSU as a four-star defensive tackle, but converted to fullback as a true freshman and became a 22-game starter. What Copeland lacks in versatility -- he's no more than a short-yardage runner and caught seven career passes at LSU -- he makes up for with aggressive, relentless lead blocking. An extremely physical player, Copeland consistently removed linebackers from plays to clear alleys for Jeremy Hill. Dallas isn't a great landing spot for Copeland, however, due to OC Scott Linehan's pass-happy leanings.

Cardinals undrafted WR Damond Powell was shot on Friday, but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

The incident happened in Powell's hometown of Toledo, Ohio. According to FOX10TV.com, Powell was sitting in his driveway with friends when he was shot in the face. Standing in at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, Powell is a slot prospect out of Iowa. It's unclear if he'll be ready for training camp this week.
